The first action game I've been able to play this jam, which is a nice change of pace. Definitely an interesting way of approaching it and some interesting mechanics at play. Although the combat was a bit easy, mainly since all the enemies get stunlocked.
It can be a bit more difficult with more. I did at one point think one of the enemies was a ranged enemy and I feel like that might've done something to help with that issue ? I'm not sure because it could mess with the combat balancing, but maybe?
Movement and everything felt alright, though I do have to say the jerkiness of the dashes "recovery" was a little weird, since it stopped your quite quickly without any sort of feedback. Though that may have been down to me spamming dash to allow me to hopefully move faster at times.
Otherwise though I do think it was an interesting puzzle to figure out how to get through the game. Though it would be nice to have a clearer introduction to the mechanic of finding secrets (spoilers just in case) with the blood of the enemies. Plus I do feel like there were quite a few times where the difficulty didn't come from the enemies so much as it came from the randomization of the placement.
Or from the fact that they tend to dash around a lot, and the range seems to be just right so that they will be over the info, and dash all the way past it. Some sort of short dash could possibly help? Just allowing you to kite them to a specific location easier? Cause I ended up using the fact that you can push their "corpses" around the map.
Which definitely helped, though it was always a bit of gamble as to when they would "resurrect" so I had to be quite careful about it. It does add a bit more difficulty the fact that they resurrec though, mainly when thjere's a lot of enemies, endlessly stunlocking them stops being a viable strategy quite quickly.
Overall though, an interesting interpretation of the theme, tho I'm still not sure if I got it. As well as a well executed game with some interesting setup and what seems to be quite the difficult end. Hoping to head back to play that.
